Parking unused domains

I have a few domains parked with google to serve up some ads for projects I either have in the works, or have abandoned and can't seem to give up the names.

I was working on a project years ago, it was supposed to be a fun pirate web based game. The name I picked was "In Search Of Booty" I recently decided to resume work (today actually) and to my delight the name was still available. (insearchofbooty.com/net/org)

Now I know, this name has infinite potential in another... fun... industry, but right now I would like it sitting around doing something other then costing $10/year.

Google denied the domains for domain parking, I'm sure because of the obvious adult overtones of the domain. Anyone have experience with a Cash-for-parking service that will accept adult themes?

I have "PoweredByLust.com" parked with Sedo.com at the moment. The site was obviously meant for adult market but i didnt have any problems getting it parked - i even set the category for it as adult.

Strange thing is that when you visit the parked site... content does not really seem that adult oriented.

Anyway... you may want to check them out.

You could just put a simple landing page up there with an email capture form, a bit of content and some ads.. at the very, very least you stand to profit via email marketing, even if you never do anything more with the site.

I'm assuming of course that you have unlimited hosting, or something like that, where you can host multiple domains off the same root hosting account for no charge. Something like TUPOS Domains - Hosting, Domains Names & More Email for Small Business where I get all my domains and have an unlimited hosting plan for only 15 bucks a month.

Think of it this way, do you want 1 possible stream of income from the domain or do you want virtually unlimited streams?

I would definately park it with Parked.com - I have over 100 parked sites there and am very happy. I also have an adult domain parked there making good money - TaraPatrick.com
